Impediments to Youth Programmes in Developing Countries

This book sorts to highlight the challenges facing successful implementation of programmes meant to improve socio-economic status of youths in developing countries. In the recent past, governments and other stakeholders in these countries have been putting efforts to sustain these programmes in vain. In Kenya particularly, the famous "KAZI KWA VIJANA" (Work for Youth) which was launched in the year 2009 is no exception since it did not meet its intended purpose but instead became a campaign tool for politicians. The target group of youths continued languishing in poverty due to lack of proper structures and strategies of implementing this programme to its conclusion. In developing countries the youth still remain vulnerable to poverty and other vices. This study therefore was necessitated by the fact that youths being the majority of the population, their programmes needs to be implemented successful to realize development goals in these countries.
